[South Range Family]

Grant, Garfield, Hayes, McKinley, Taft, Harding, William Henry Harrison. The Eighth is his grandson Benjamin Harrison, born and educated in Ohio also claimed by Indiana. I say we send a raiding party over to Indiana and settle this once and for all.

I see they are saying Grant's middle name is Simpson, yet I read a story about him being born Hiram Ulysses Grant. Anybody know the real story for sure?

The Story about his name change at West Point is true. here's a short quote.

" The best evidence of the changes that had occurred in warfare from Jomini to Clausewitz can be found in the campaigns of Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant. The latter was born Hiram Ulysses Grant in Ohio but through confusion at West Point he became Ulysses Simpson Grant. Appointed to the military academy, he found it distasteful and hoped that Congress would abolish the institution, freeing him. He excelled only in horsemanship for that he had displayed a capability early in life and graduated in 1843, 2lst out of 39 graduates. Posted to the 4th Infantry, since there were no vacancies in the dragoons, he served as regimental quartermaster during most of the Mexican War. Nonetheless he frequently led a company in combat under Zachary Taylor in northern Mexico."
